Gov. Tim Walz is expected to sign two executive orders on Tuesday aimed at reducing gun violence in Minnesota. According to an announcement from the Governor’s Office, the orders will establish a Statewide Safety Council, produce data on the “costs of gun violence” and promote “education on safe storage.”

Prosecutors say a Trump executive order helped the FBI thwart a planned New Year’s Eve attack by a group officials describe as far-left and targeting California companies.

Walz had pushed an assault-style weapons ban after the shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church and School in August, but talks with legislators broke down.

Last Thursday, the House of Representatives voted 232 to 194 to advance the Protect America’s Workforce Act, which would repeal Trump’s Executive Order 14251. That included 22 House Republicans who broke party lines to repeal the president's move to restrict union rights at federal agencies.

Before Trump, the last time a president surpassed 100 executive orders in the first year of a term was 1945, when Harry Truman took over the presidency after FDR’s death.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Monday classifying “illicit fentanyl and its core precursor chemicals” as weapons of mass destruction.

President Trump signed the 221st executive order of his second term on Monday, surpassing his first-term total in just 330 days.

Walz and almost all Democratic-Farmer-Labor lawmakers support a ban on so-called assault weapons. But with no Republican support and DFL holdouts, prospects of such bills passing remain uncertain.

Gov. Ron DeSantis said Florida can regulate artificial intelligence despite President Donald Trump's executive order to create a national AI standard.
